What’s the most innovative game hook that never took off or got copied? (alien.top)

Basically what’s a game that you’ve played that seemed so mind blowingly unique at the time but for one reason or another the game never took off and other developers didn’t pick up and run with it either.

Shadow Of The Colossus. The sheer scale, physics and art direction. I'll never forget the innovative stamina grip meter and how it tied in so neatly with grabbing on to the colossus' hair / fur. It was very rewarding and natural how you got stronger as you progressed. Sure the game took off but, correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will) I've never seen it copied.
